yes it will also cause them to blink off & on and
What year is the vehicle? Did you check the fuse?
If the lights flicker when the vehicle is running, the alternator is on it's way out.
Sounds like your vehicle is equipped with the daytime running lights (DRL system) When the vehicle is started and the emergency brake is released , the daytime running lamps automatically come on. Start your vehicle and then apply the parking brake to see if the headlights shut off , if they do then you have the DRL system.
My 2004 Endeavor does not. However, I like the idea, and the lights turn off when the ignition switch is in the lock position, so I leave the headlights on all the time.
Your vehicle is equipped the Daytime Running Lights, (DRL). A daytime running lamp (DRL, also daylight running lamp or daytime running light) is a lighting device on the vehicle that are installed in pairs. They automatically are switched on when the vehicle is moving forward, and is intended to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle during daylight conditions.
You should specify which bulb. As is, we don't know if you're talking about headlights, tail lights, or any other number of bulbs that vehicle requires.
AnswerI assume that you mean why won't the headlights turn off when I turn them off at night. The 98 Malibu has a light sensor that automatically turns on the head lights when it senses a low light condition. Unless there is sufficient light from some other source directed at this sensor, the head lights will not turn off when you turn them off using the switch on the dash panel. They will only go off when the head light switch is in the lights off position and the car is shut off.The only other way to turn the headlights off while the vehicle is running in low-light conditions, is to set the parking brake prior to starting the vehicle. This will prevent both Headlights and Day-Time Running lights from turning on when the vehicle is running.
you have a short or maybe it's a fuse shot
No. Hundreds upon hundreds of jumpstarts later I can honestly answer no.
To aim the Mitsubishi Galant Headlights open the engine compartment of the vehicle. Locate the headlights and use a screwdriver on the vertical adjustment screw positioned on top of the headlight. This screw will allow adjustment for position where the light will shine.
Some vehicles have daytime running lights that are supposed to make the vehicle more visible to others.
Your question does not make any sense, but, you can use your headlights anytime you want, they are the most visible and best safety feature on your vehicle. That's why daytime running lights are standard on most GM vehicles and should be a law.
